The best cars of the 79th Goodwood Members' Meeting
Long before the Tuscan, Sagaris and Chimaera, there was the TVR Griffith. Something of an underdog, this Griffith 400 was dwarfed by the Jaguar E-Types et al on the starting grid, but despite its small size, it packed a big punch. This particular car was the first prototype of the updated Griffith and was even raced at Goodwood in period.Aston Martin’s DP projects were something of a failure: they were designed to win Le Mans, but none ever finished the gruelling 24-hour event.
The controversial design was briefly disqualified after stewards found its bargeboards to be illegal, but the decision was overturned and Ferrari just about took victory.When the Porsche 956 first hit the track in 1982, not even its designers could have predicted how utterly dominant it would become. The 956 proved to be the benchmark setter in the early days of Group C, winning the World Sportscar Championship three times on the trot before being replaced by the upgraded Porsche 962.
